Extended anterolateral thigh flap reconstruction of a recurrent pelvic chondrosarcoma excision defect with exposed bowel
BMJ CASE REPORTS(2024)
Abstract
The pedicled anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap has proven to be a reliable and versatile technique for the reconstruction of complex abdominal wall defects. Its robust vascular supply, large skin paddle and potential for a two-team approach make it an excellent choice for such challenging reconstructions. This case report emphasises the effectiveness of the pedicled ALT flap in managing complex abdominal wall defects, providing both functional restoration and satisfactory aesthetic results. However, careful patient selection and meticulous surgical planning remain paramount to ensure optimal outcomes.
